Kiss Dieting Goodbye: Embracing a Whole New Way to Lose Weight

Author: Elliott Young

Americans are obsessed with diets and dieting products, but they are commitment-phobes when it comes to weight loss. How can women stop chasing quick fixes to embrace a long-term lifestyle transformation that leads to weight loss and well-being?

Personal trainer and former dieting extremist Elliott Young shows readers how to exchange dieting for healthy living as they:

adopt new skills in the six-week starter K.I.S.S. plan
eat nutrient-rich foods and practice portion control
reap the emotional and spiritual rewards of real change

With inspiring stories, exercise and food plans, and proven solutions, Young offers a life change for women wanting to be fit in mind, body, and soul—and who want to kiss failure goodbye.

A Guide to Survivorship for Women with Ovarian Cancer (Johns Hopkins Press Health Book Series)

Author: Fredrick J Montz

This comprehensive guide to ovarian cancer offers a wealth of information to ease the physical, emotional, and psychic suffering of women with the disease. The authors -- two Johns Hopkins gynecologic oncologists and a gynecologic-oncology clinical nurse -- put particular emphasis on the concept of "survivorship," or living life well in the face of daunting uncertainties. They stress the importance of self-determination: the right of each patient to be informed, involved, and in control of her care.

Up-to-date information on diagnosis and treatment, including surgery, chemotherapy, radiation, pain management, and alternative therapies, forms the core of the book. But the authors' immense clinical experience also means they understand what women worry about and care about, and they address these issues with true compassion. Stressing quality of life, self-determination, and living life to the fullest, this remarkable book speaks to women with ovarian cancer everywhere.

Library Journal

It is estimated that in 2005 alone, 16,000 American women will die from ovarian cancer, the fourth leading cause of cancer deaths among this demographic. If diagnosed and treated early-before the cancer spreads outside the ovary-it is a highly treatable disease. However, only 29 percent of cases are discovered at this early stage. Johns Hopkins gynecologic oncologists Montz and Bristow and clinical nurse Anastasia provide a thorough, up-to-date resource for women with ovarian cancer, offering information on diagnosis and treatment, including chemotherapy, surgery, radiation therapy, pain management, and alternative/complementary options. The overarching theme is survivorship, which means not just avoiding death but living life to its fullest in the face of major challenges. At the core of the authors' philosophy is the need for ovarian cancer patients to be well informed and in control of their own care. This important book should be included in all consumer health collections, as well as purchased by women affected by the disease.-Linda M.G. Katz, Drexel Univ.

Resistance Training: The Total Approach

Author: Lewis Bowling

In this exciting new book, Lewis Bowling, an instructor of physical education at North Carolina Central University, combines his experience as a personal trainer and physical fitness specialist with the current thinking about topics such as creatine use, machines versus barbells, and children's training to create a book that is both a practical how-to guide and a scholarly exploration of resistance training.

In addition to detailed pictures and descriptions of proper weight lifting techniques, Bowling has included chapters from two additional resistance training experts. Sonny Falcone, the strength and conditioning coach at Duke University, details parts of the regime used by Duke athletes such as power lifts, agility drills, speed training, and sport-specific exercises. He also discusses the differences between how athletes train and how those interested in health/fitness train. Dr. Terry Todd, a professor at the University of Texas and the leading authority on resistance training history, provides insights into its evolution from the ancient "physical culture" to what is now called the "physical fitness movement."

This book covers resistance training, exercise motivation, special population exercise programs, physiology, kinesiology, exercise prescription, and exercise safety. It will be useful to beginners looking to start an exercise program, experienced athletes, and all those in between.

Just a Lump in the Road ...: Reflections of Young Breast Cancer Survivors

Author: Debbie Leifert

Today, approximately one in eight women will be diagnosed with breast cancer-and many will be under the age of fifty. There are currently more than 250,000 breast cancer survivors in the United States who are just forty-five years old or younger. They are daughters, wives, mothers, sisters, and friends, whose illness and subsequent treatment affect entire families and communities. And they face issues wholly unique to their age group.

A collaborative effort by six young breast cancer survivors, Just a Lump in the Road . . . shares the kind of candid information, insight, and inspiration that only girlfriends who have "been there" can deliver. Each story is as diverse as the women themselves, and modesty is hurled aside as they discuss dating and mastectomies, children and mortality, and treatment and hair loss. Together with the doctors and healthcare professionals who continue to care for them, the women also provide an overview of the many types of breast cancer treatments now available.

Giving a much-needed voice to the young survivor, Just a Lump in the Road . . . offers validation, comfort, and encouragement for not only the thousands of young women battling breast cancer, but also their spouses, bosses, children, babysitters, friends, boyfriends, and significant others yet to come.

Contra la depresion

Author: Peter Kramer

What is depression really, and how does society define it? Kramer, a famed psychiatrist and author of the 1993 bestseller Listening to Prozac, says he has written "an insistent argument that depression is a disease, one we would do well to oppose wholeheartedly." In making his argument, Kramer examines the cultural roots of notions about depression and underscores the gap between what we know scientifically and what we feel about the illness. Kramer traces depression from Hippocrates through the Renaissance and Romantic "cult of melancholy" to advances in medicine, psychiatry and psychotherapy, and at last to the disease we now know it to be.

The book maintains the perfect balance between science and human interest, as the author details both psychiatric studies and personal experience.

A comparison of the biochemical workings of depression with the physical and observable symptoms serves as an intellectual trip for readers and provides a thorough exploration of what Kramer dubs "the most devastating disease known to humankind."This book is an important addition to the growing public health campaign against depression.

Author: Neal B Schultz

When women are asked to name the one thing they would like to change about their faces, most of them say, "the wrinkles."

The Johns Hopkins Guide to Diabetes: For Today and Tomorrow

Author: Christopher D Saudek

The Johns Hopkins Guide to Diabetes provides comprehensive and reliable answers to the many questions asked by people with the disease as well as their families and friends. What are the differences between Type I and Type II diabetes, for example? How are the different forms of this disease diagnosed and treated? Can diabetes that develops during pregnancy become a permanent condition? Can diabetes ever be managed with diet and exercise alone?

Written by a team of Johns Hopkins specialists, this authoritative and easy-to-read guide addresses everything about diabetes which patients need to know for good control and good health.

Highlights of The Johns Hopkins Guide to Diabetes: • The importance of getting a straight answer about your diagnosis • The physical and psychological demands of diabetes • Managing the disease with blood glucose monitoring, diet, exercise, oral medications, and insulin therapy • Potential short-term and long-term complications, such as hypoglycemia, hardening of the arteries, and effects on eyes, kidneys, feet, and skin • Sexuality, pregnancy, and genetics • Recent developments for treating diabetes and the latest thinking about the importance of close control, based on the Diabetes Control and Complications Trial

American Family Physician

Presents the care of diabetes in a very positive manner, one that engages the patient to learn about his or her illness.

Nutrition in Clinical Care

Recommended for its clarity and sound scientific information.

Sherman M. Holvey

I have read just about every book on diabetes written for persons with diabetes, their families, and the general public, and not one comes close to matching this outstanding book. It covers virtually every issue of concern about diabetes and in a thorough and understandable way provides information that is not generally available to nonprofessionals.

Irwin G. Brodsky

This is a diabetes self-care and healthy living manual. The purpose is to provide diabetic patients with information they need for self-care of diabetes and healthy living with diabetes. It is designed to provide the information using the personal experiences and anecdotes of expert health professionals involved in clinical care and teaching diabetes management. Patients with diabetes and their families are the intended audience. The book provides information on the pathophysiology and treatment of diabetes mellitus. It provides information of relevance to both Type I and Type II diabetic patients. The book additionally provides information about the psychosocial aspects of diabetes and the specialized information about diabetes complications and diabetes during pregnancy. The authors have taken great care to provide diabetes information in a very personal manner. The reader is likely to feel part of an intimate interaction with a healthcare professional. The concepts in this book are described in a understandable but sophisticated manner, so some of the text may beyond the grasp of those with a low reading level. The concepts are presented in a fashion consistent with expert consensus in the field of diabetes. Physicians can feel comfortable that their patients will receive conventional but up-to-date medical opinions. There are a few items in the book related to diabetes diagnosis and treatment that need to be updated because of very recent developments in the field.

Publishers Weekly

Library Journal

Written by a team of Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine practitioners, this valuable guide presents critical information about the physical, emotional, and psychological effects of diabetes. The nature of the disease, diet and exercise, treatments, complications, sexuality, pregnancy, and research are covered, often using the stories and concerns of actual patients. The language used, while sometimes complex in concept, is clear, enlightening, and reassuring to the reader. Positive examples stress the importance of individual knowledge and flexibility in daily life. An excellent beginner's guide, more comprehensive for the motivated reader than the American Diabetes Association Complete Guide to Diabetes (LJ 8/15/96), this book complements The Joslin Guide to Diabetes (LJ 7/95), providing additional information on the subjects of complications, treatments, research, and genetics. A required purchase for all health collections. [See also Laurinda Poirier and Katharine M. Coburn's Women & Diabetes, reviewed above.Ed.]Janet M. Schneider, James A.

How you can have a negative stress test and still be at risk for a heart attack

Why belly fat can be deadly—and what you can do about it

“Dr. Agatston has been a guest on my show with this book. Unfortunately, it was too late to help me but, maybe, not you. The doctor is here with a revolution that can save your life.”
—Regis Philbin

Jennifer Johnston Copyright 2007 Reed Business Information - Library Journal

Agatston (medicine, Univ. of Miami; The South Beach Diet) adds yet another book to his successful series. A cardiologist for more than 30 years, Agatston focuses his expertise on what he knows best: maintaining a healthy heart. He espouses four preventive techniques: diet, exercise, diagnostic tests, and medications. The first half of the book includes Agatston's reasoning for utilizing these preventive measures, documented studies and patient testimonials, a gender-specific questionnaire, and information on when invasive surgeries such as angiograms and angioplasties might be necessary. The second part is devoted to Agatston's four-step plan, with a basic overview and sample meal plans from the South Beach Diet, a detailed workout regimen of walking and Pilates-based exercises, and discussions of which medical tests are most important in monitoring one's heart and which prescription and over-the-counter medications (and supplements) are most beneficial and why. Those previously reluctant to take medications won't necessarily be persuaded by Agatston's confidence, and the diet chapter is too slight for most to grasp—but ultimately, Agatston's popularity makes this a necessary purchase for public libraries.

Read by Sara Krieger

Publishers Weekly

Having been marketed to millions as a weight-loss solution, the Atkins diet is now presented as a means of preventing type 2 diabetes, a disease whose rates are skyrocketing, thanks to the prevalence of risk factors such as obesity and high lipid and blood sugar levels. The authors clearly outline their interpretation of the path to diabetes, arguing that carbs cause blood sugar spikes, triggering the release of more insulin-the hormone that regulates blood sugar-than the cells need. Blood sugar ends up stored as fat and the body's cells start responding more slowly to the insulin, which leads to elevated blood sugar levels. But the tone the authors adopt when touting their low-carb, high-protein, high-fat approach may arouse some skepticism and even fear. "In the end, only you can decide what's best for your health," they warn. "You can choose the Atkins approach and improve your health, or you can choose the ADA [American Diabetes Association] approach and descend into more and more medications and poor health." While studies now demonstrate low-carb dieting can lead to weight loss and cholesterol control over the short term, experts tend to agree that diets that demonize one food group aren't easy to stick to over the long haul. Still, the work includes valuable nutritional information and sounds a needed alarm about the diabetes epidemic. (On sale Aug. 3) Forecast: With national TV, radio and print ads, as well as online promotions, this latest Atkins guide should have no trouble climbing bestseller lists.

Holy Cow or Safe Baby

Holy Cow: The Hare Krishna Contribution to Vegetarianism and Animal Rights

Author: Steven J Rosen

Hinduism scholar Steven Rosen explores the world of the Hare Krishna movement, which has been instrumental in raising awareness of vegetarianism and the plight of animals in the United States. Holy Cow begins by introducing the Hare Krishna movement and of its colorful singing and dancing, its book distribution program, and especially its restaurants, sacred food distribution, and delicious vegetarian cuisine.

Rosen returns to the early days of Indian culture, to a time when daily life was based on Vedic principles and scriptural wisdom, and shows how vegetarianism and animal rights were endorsed by the Vedic texts. Rosen reveals how a tension was created by a concomitant endorsement of animal sacrifices in ancient Indian culture, a tension that led in part to the beginnings of Jainism and Buddhism.

Rosen then examines the rise of Vaishnavism—the worship of the god Vishnu, or Krishna—and how Vaishnavites were sympathetic to vegetarianism and animal rights, showing the link between the contemporary Hare Krishna movement (ISKCON), founded in the 1960s, and the ancient Vaishnavaites and all that they have accomplished in between. Rosen looks at the "Food for Life" program, the restaurants and cookbooks, and the various forms of writing about vegetarianism and animal rights. The book also includes recipes for those who wish to taste Krishna.

In conclusion, Rosen illustrates how deeply Hare Krishna devotees have influenced the contemporary vegetarian movement and its call for ahimsa, or nonviolence, toward all living beings.

AUTHOR BIO:

Steven Rosen is the author of some twenty books on Hindu-related subjects. He is an initiated disciple of Srila A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada and the editor-in-chief of the Journal of Vaishnava Studies, a peer-refereed academic journal that focuses on the culture and philosophy of Vaishnava-Hinduism. He and his family live in New York.

Safe Baby: A Do-It-Yourself Guide for Home Safety

Author: Debra Smiley Holtzman

Protecting their children is the greatest concern for most parents and grandparents. The Safe Baby provides them comprehensive help in making their homes safer for the entire family.

Library Journal

Holtzman, a nationally recognized child-safety and health expert featured on the Discovery Health Channel's Make Room for Baby, offers parents of young children a well-written guide on home safety. The author takes a tour of the house and the backyard, covering safety measures that apply to each room. Besides the expected areas like the nursery, the bathroom, and the kitchen, Holtzman also covers the backyard, the home office, and the basement. Chapters on fire safety, common poisonous plants, and environmental hazards are also addressed. The "Room-by-Room Checklist" and the list of resources in the appendix are handy and extensive. Because this book is similar in content and scope to the author's previous The Panic-Proof Parent: Creating a Safe Lifestyle for Your Family, it is an optional purchase for libraries that own the older book. Otherwise, highly recommended for public libraries.-Maryse Breton, Ann Arbor, MI Copyright 2005 Reed Business Information.

Third Opinion: An International Directory to Alternative Therapy Centers for the Treatment and Prevention of Cancer and Other Degenerative Diseases

Author: John M Fink

In an age of information, when there is a growing awareness and acceptance of the value of alternative and complementary medicine, it's surprising that basic facts about alternative cancer treatments are so hard to come by. If you don't know the right person, it may take days or even weeks to learn even the simplest of facts. Worse, sometimes information becomes available only as a matter of chance.

Here, in this fourth revised edition, is a comprehensive guide to the growing number of alternative treatment centers located throughout the world. Everything you need to know—from addresses, phone numbers, names, and prices, to philosophical approaches and methods of treatment—is provided in a clear, easy-to-use format. Also included are the educational centers, information services, and support programs that may be of interest to the person looking for alternative or adjunctive therapy. For each listing, the author has gathered all of the information necessary to make that all-important initial contact. To further help you, the author has included a glossary of terms, a regional breakdown of centers, and a list of informative readings.

Beyond any first and second opinions that may be offered, there are other options that you may wish to consider. Third Opinion offers you the opportunity to learn about these options so that you can make a truly informed decision.

About the Author:
John M. Fink had been an actor for fourteen years when he lost his young daughter to cancer. Since then, he has been deeply interested in alternative and adjunctive care. He has been active as a board member of the International Association of Cancer Victors and Friends, both nationally and in the Santa Barbara Chapter. He has also been on the Board of the National Health Federation, and has served as a member of the Advisory Panel for the Congressional Office of Technology Assessment's (OTA) study, Unconventional Cancer Treatments. He resides in southern California with his wife.

The Psychology of the Body

Author: Elliot Green

This book is designed to provide massage therapists and bodyworkers with a greater understanding of the psychological issues that can arise from using touch in their therapy sessions. The book describes the connection between the body and the mind, how touch affects this connection, the client's emotional reaction and release, and how to respond to the client in an appropriate manner. The purpose of the book is to clearly define the scope of practice in this area for massage therapists, and bodyworkers.

And, secondly, the book provides practitioners with more knowledge and understanding of the psychological issues that can arise when using touch in therapeutic practices.
Audience: The intended audience is broad, encompassing massage therapists, somatic practitioners and educators, physical therapists, and occupational therapists. The coeditors of the book have educational and clinical experience in massage and bodywork.

Doody Review Services

Reviewer: Melody L McKinney, DNS, RN (Indiana State University)
Description: This fourth edition introductory book incorporates many recent medical advances in the rapidly changing science of medical oncology. Updates by experts in a variety of fields of cancer research, education, and practice add to the understanding of cancer causation, biology, and treatment. All of the updated content, including expertise in molecular studies not available in the 1998 edition, is conveyed at a level appropriate for senior undergraduate, graduate, and postgraduate medical and nursing students interested in the biology of cancer.
Purpose: The book is designed as a practical and affordable introductory oncology text that includes both essential information and state-of-the-art updates on the scientific foundation of causes and treatments of cancer. The authors claim that the book should be useful as a broad introduction and teaching aid for persons interested in the study and treatment of cancer.
Audience: The targeted audience is fellows, residents, nurses, medical students, graduate students, and senior undergraduates who are interested in the biology of cancer.
Features: The book is divided into 22 chapters addressing a broad range of issues related to cancer genetics, molecular pathways and DNA damage, viral contribution to susceptibility, tumor suppressor genes and oncogenes, chemotherapy drug resistance, hormone therapy, anticancer drug pharmacology, monoclonal antibody therapy, clinical radiotherapy, and other topics. Chapters include an introduction, summary, and references. Eleven pages of color plates aid in understanding molecular structures and alterations. A comprehensive glossary of terms and an index are also provided.
Assessment: This well-referenced, well-indexed, scholarly book facilitates the basic understanding of cancer and its treatment. The expertise of multiple researchers, scholars, and clinicians in the field of oncology is used to achieve the goal of cutting-edge information related to advances in the understanding of cancer, its causes and treatment. The book is comprehensive, well-written, pertinent, and should be easy to comprehend by healthcare professionals who are interested, but not expert, in the field of cancer. By increasing their knowledge base, the book should also aid healthcare professionals in working with cancer patients and their families.

Intellectual Property Rights and Biodiversity Conservation: An Interdisciplinary Analysis of the Values of Medicinal Plants

Author: Timothy M Swanson

The urgent need to ensure the conservation of biological diversity is now widely recognized, but practical measures to protect endangered species and habitats are still small-scale and generally limited to developed countries. This volume offers a detailed analysis of the economic and scientific rationales for biodiversity conservation. It discusses the justification for, and implementation of intellectual property rights regimes as incentive systems to encourage conservation. The contributions form an interdisciplinary approach encompassing fields of study such as evolutionary biology, chemistry, economics and legal studies. The arguments are presented through the case study of medicinal plant use in the pharmaceutical industry. The book will be of interest and relevance to a broad spectrum of conservationists from research students to policy makers.

Ethnomedicine or Ending the Depression Cycle

2009-01-22T02:28:00.000-08:00

Ethnomedicine

Author: Pamela I Erickson

"People throughout time and place, no matter their belief system, have sought to discover causes and cures for illness and disease. Among Westerners is a groundswell to augment biomedicine with holistic practices inherent in ethnomedicines of non-Western traditions. Yet missing are awareness and knowledge of the foundations and outgrowth of these alternative concepts." Erickson fills this gap by clearly explaining the basic organizing principles that underlie all medical systems, the full range of theories of disease causation, the geographical distribution of medical practices, and the historical trends that led to biomedical dominance. Her efficient, balanced approach highlights commonalities among the world's vast and diverse medical systems, making ethnomedicine easier to internalize and to apply in clinical settings.

Ending the Depression Cycle

Author: Peter J Bieling

Experts report that 17 million people in the us suffer from clinical depression; 50% of the people who recover will relapse within three years. This is the first book to address the problem of depression relapse. And has the most up-to-date, step-by-step strategies for preventing relapse by a leading researcher

Most books on this disorder focus on crisis control during the acute phase of mild and severe depression. This book deals instead with the period after recovery when as many as half of those who have defeated depression will suffer relapse. Learn about the repeating cycle of depression. Then, with self-assessment tools and engaging exercises, understand the stage you are dealing with. Find practical advice about clinical options, including anti-depressant medication and continuing psychotherapy. Take away everyday strategies for thinking realistically, having fun, and being physically well.

Library Journal

Since more and more Americans have become interested in Chinese medicine, Han and Miller felt there was a need for a book that would make the subject easy to understand. They have succeeded admirably in creating such a book. The authors are practitioners: Miller is a pharmacist and physician, and Han is a doctor of oriental medicine who started out as a barefoot lay health worker in China's countryside during the Cultural Revolution. The first part of their book focuses on how traditional Chinese and Western medicine converged in modern China and describes the philosophical basis of traditional Chinese medicine. The text makes a complex subject quite clear without being preachy. The second part shows how people can integrate the best of both Western and Eastern medicine in treating common health problems such as arthritis, AIDS, and cancer. The book concludes with recipes for healthy living and ways to determine your individual constitution. Highly recommended for public libraries.-Natalie Kupferberg, Ohio State Univ., Columbus

There's More to Life than Just Living: A Personal Story about Cancer Survival

Author: Bruce Guilmett

What do you do when according to modern medical science your only option is how you will die? The choices are limited. The time is painfully short. This is when it hits home, There is More to Life Than Just Living. Dr. Guilmette faced that very moment in time by looking beyond the accepted way of doing things. Through hours of research and diligent study, he created a new paradigm for defeating his cancer. There is More to Life Than Just Living is his story about cancer, death, life, and encouragement.

Breathing Space: How Allergies Shape Our Lives and Landscapes

Author: Gregg Mitman

Allergy is the sixth leading cause of chronic illness in the United States. More than fifty million Americans suffer from allergies, and they spend an estimated $18 billion coping with them. Yet despite advances in biomedicine and enormous investment in research over the past fifty years, the burden of allergic disease continues to grow. Why have we failed to reverse this trend?
Breathing Space offers an intimate portrait of how allergic disease has shaped American culture, landscape, and life. Drawing on environmental, medical, and cultural history and the life stories of people, plants, and insects, Mitman traces how America’s changing environment from the late 1800s to the present day has led to the epidemic growth of allergic disease. We have seen a never-ending stream of solutions to combat allergies, from hay fever resorts, herbicides, and air-conditioned homes to numerous potions and pills. But, as Mitman shows, despite the quest for a magic bullet, none of the attempted solutions has succeeded. Until we address how our changing environment—physical, biological, social, and economic—has helped to create America’s allergic landscape, that hoped-for success will continue to elude us.

Jihad and American Medicine: Thinking Like a Terrorist to Anticipate Attacks Via Our Health System [Praeger Series on Contemporary Health And Living]

Author: Adam Frederic Dorin

State-of-the-art counter-terrorism techniques, insights into modern medical practice, medical errors, and disaster prevention all intersect in this groundbreaking book by Adam Dorin, M.D., an anesthesiologist and medical director across 15 years. Dr. Dorin shows us why our healthcare system may be the next Ground Zero for terrorism, and how many opportunities there are for terrorists to infiltrate the sytem. He offers a history of medical and healthcare-related serial killers, showing how they got inside the system to murder relatively easily, and he offers a detailed look at the profound problems which already exist in counterfeit and tainted medicinal products, as well as descriptions of biological, chemical, and nuclear terrorism that could be used against our healthcare system. Most importantly, Dr. Dorin presents a detailed blueprint for safeguarding our system, and preventing medical terrorism from ever taking place.

Men Who Knit & The Dogs Who Love Them: 30 Great-Looking Designs for Man & His Best Friend

Author: Annie Modesitt

Two hot topics—male knitters and knits for dogs—come together in this one fabulous, fun volume! It’s a stand-out-from-the-crowd collection that features strong, colorful, and masculine designs that will appeal to men of all ages...plus companion items for their four-legged friends. The writing is informative, supportive, and humorous; crowd-pleasing images of well-dressed pooches with their sartorially splendid owners add to the entertainment. Geared toward knitters of all levels—but with an emphasis on intermediate and advanced techniques—the projects will wow readers. Imagine a quirky Rasta-inspired hat and a cool matching doggie jacket. Or a classic gray, cabled vest in merino wool and cashmere—one for him and one for Fido. Hit the town in a colorful patchwork pullover; matching saddlebags turn walk time into a fashionable outing. The projects are offered in a wide range of sizes to fit a variety of male and doggie body types—and, as an added feature, there are tips and anecdotes from more than a dozen male knitters.

Jan Zlendich - Library Journal

Despite bearing a title that sounds like a Jerry Springer episode, Modessit's (Confessions of a Knitting Heretic) excellent book is full of knitwear designs for garments men might actually want to wear. As a bonus, it also features items for dogs that won't embarrass men when they're taking their animals on walks. It is targeted to an audience of intermediate and advanced knitters and includes step-by-step patterns for a wide range of sizes, plus interesting sidebars about men who knit. Among the designs for men are a diagonal colorblock pullover, a classic cabled vest, and a comfortable plaid zip-front jacket. Dogs, meanwhile, get not only sweaters to protect them from the cold but also blankets and "mutt-luks" socks for taking walks in snowy weather. A good selection for large public libraries where demand warrants.

With full coverage of the needs of women, as well as vegetarians and others with special dietary restrictions, this is the definitive guide to all aspects of sports nutrition.

Successful Aging Through the Life Span or The Alcoholic Family in Recovery

2009-01-16T18:25:00.000-08:00

Successful Aging Through the Life Span: Intergenerational Issues in Health

Author: May L Wykl

This book explores concepts and practices for productive aging: What factors contribute to successful aging? What is the role of exercise and nutrition? What is the role of children and adults in interaction with elders?

The chapters identify the best practices for successful aging, examine trends in intergenerational caregiving, and define roles and responsibilities across the life span. Topics addressed include:

• how to maximize productive engagement of older adults
• how multigenerational issues impact successful aging
• the ways in which a learning environment can promote intergenerational relationships.

Doody Review Services

Reviewer: David O. Staats, MD (University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center)
Description: This multiauthored book presents the papers from a 2002 gerontology conference held in Cleveland. It uses an intergenerational perspective to look at contemporary gerontology.
Purpose: Its purpose is to discuss intergenerational aspects of aging from the individual's perspective, from the family's caregiving perspective, and from society's perspective as well. These are useful ideas.
Audience: Gerontologists and social planners and nurses are the primary audience for this book. The papers presented here are all written by credible experts.
Features: The book is in three sections: the implications of longevity from an intergenerational perspective, notions of aging successfully, and caring interactions across the generations.
Assessment: It is refreshing to read a book whose emphasis is not medical. The chapters on how educational theory can be applied to caring for disabled older persons are novel and engaging. That older persons and their caregivers live in a society, enmeshing levels of capacity, knowledge, and ages gives a perspective of the future challenges of an aging society.

The Aura-Soma Sourcebook: Color Therapy for the Soul

Author: Mike Booth

SELF-HELP / HEALING

Aura-Soma is an innovative approach to soul therapy that relies on bottles of dual-colored liquids, known as Equilibrium bottles, that incorporate plant extracts, essential oils, and the energies and extracts of precious and semiprecious stones. The energetic properties found in the liquids interact with the individual’s aura to help support balance in the body, mind, and spirit.

In The Aura-Soma Sourcebook authors Mike Booth and Carol McKnight detail the origins, holistic understanding, and consciousness-mirroring effects of each of the 106 Equilibrium combinations. The practice of Aura-Soma is initially based on a person’s selection of four Equilibrium bottles. The choice of bottles and the sequence in which they are chosen provide keys to understanding past difficulties and reflect the need and potential for growth in one’s consciousness. The book includes full-color spreads that juxtapose the colors of the bottle with dramatic photographs that depict the energetic essence of each color combination and that evoke the healing energy of the natural environment. The authors also explain where to apply the essences, which chakra in the subtle anatomy will be affected, and what areas of personal growth can be addressed.

MIKE BOOTH is the principal of the Art and Science International Academy of Colour Technologies and chairman of Aura-Soma Products Ltd., having studied and practiced Aura-Soma for more than twenty years, seven of which were caring for and working with Aura-Soma’s founder, Vicky Wall. He lives in England and teaches Aura-Soma throughout the world. CAROL McKNIGHT is an Aura-Soma teacher, a licensedpsychologist, M.A., and a licensed clinical mental health counselor with a private practice in Vermont.

Arthritis

Author: David Pisetsky

This new book in the successful Healthy Living series - inspirational stories followed by positive, practical medical advice for caregivers and patients - addresses an issue that is endemic among older Americans.

Here is a book to offer them information and inspiration in an easy-to-read, trusted formula.

In the Healthy Living series, Chicken Soup for the Soul partners with the nation’s top medical experts and organizations to give emotional support and important information to people with specific medical needs. The books feature approximately twelve positive, heartwarming stories from real people, followed by relevant expert medical advice that will positively impact the reader’s life.

Each book contains source notes and a resources section for more information and support.

Recovery Options: The Complete Guide, How You and Your Loved Ones Can Understand and Treat Alcohol and Other Drug Problems

Author: Joseph Volpicelli

A clear and compassionate guide to overcoming substance problems

"A no-nonsense, state-of-the-art guide."—Laurie Garrett, Pulitzer Prize–winning author of The Coming Plague

"Comprehensive, illuminating, easy to read."—William Cope Moyers, Vice President of Public Affairs, Hazelden Foundation

In Recovery Options: The Complete Guide, Joseph Volpicelli, M.D., Ph.D., an award-winning addiction research pioneer, and Maia Szalavitz, a Pulitzer Prize–nominated journalist and former addict, provide frank and impartial appraisals of all the major treatment options, including:

Alcoholics Anonymous
Moderate drinking programs
Alternative treatments
Therapeutic communities
Cognitive therapies
Other 12-step programs
Medications
Methadone
Harm reduction
How families can help

In Recovery Options: The Complete Guide, you will learn what addiction is—and what it isn’t. You will examine both the mechanism of addiction and how you can make the best treatment choices . . . why some people are particularly prone to substance problems . . . and the genetic and learning mechanisms that help create these conditions. You’ll explore the various types of treatment and the ideas on which they are based, and find out how effective each treatment is—and which ones are not effective. Finally, you’ll find supportive information on staying clean and sober, preventing relapse, and minimizing damage caused by slips that may occur. Featuring the dramatic real-life stories of patients’ experiences (both good and bad) with various methods of recovery, this warm, sympathetic,and accessible guide to overcoming alcohol and other drug problems will help you and your loved ones begin the journey away from substance misuse toward a better life.

Library Journal

With in-depth explanations of street drugs, pharmaceutical drugs, and handy tips such as how to select a counselor, a treatment, or a self-help group, this work is chockfull of valuable information geared primarily to substance abusers in any stage before and during recovery. The book also offers "For Family Members & Loved Ones" segments as well as "Knowledge Is Power" sections that summarize many of the chapters but don't quite compensate for the lack of an index. Volpicelli, a senior scientist at Penn/VA Center for Research on Addictive Diseases, shares his impressive knowledge of addiction with scientific precision but uses practical advice and vignettes to illustrate topics. Szalavitz, a Pulitzer Prize-nominated journalist and recovered addict, lends an experiential voice that makes this book even more empathetic. Recommended for public, medical, and academic libraries with clinical concentrations.--Paula N. Arnold, ingenta inc, Boston Copyright 2000 Cahners Business Information.

Joe Volpicelli is one of the most creative research scientists and clinicians in the addiction field. With Maia Szalavitz, he has put together a highly practical and effective book describing a modern approach to the treatment of alcoholism and other addictive disorders. This approach is steeped in pragmatism and soundly based on science. It utilizes techniques that work and that have been adapted to the needs of individual patients. The writing is clear, succinct and understandable. It should be a very useful guide for patients, their families, and professionals in addressing this terrible disease.

At last a sensible, clear guide for consumers who are facing the tough choice of seeking treatment for addictive behaviors. In a field long driven by emotion and minimal scientific evidence, Volpicelli and Szalavitz impartially review the options and explain them in clear language. In addition, they take some of the hysteria out of the issues facing substance users and their loved ones by providing a coherent summary of what we really know about alcohol and other drugs. A must read. Bravo!

Everything You Need to Know to Feel Go or Why Christians Get Sick

2009-01-14T23:33:00.000-08:00

Everything You Need to Know to Feel Go(o)d

Author: Candace B Pert

Everything You Need to Know to Feel Go(o)d is Candace Pert’s response to the questions she’s been asked in her worldwide travels ever since the publication of her book Molecules of Emotion, and her appearance in the film What the Bleep Do We Know?! She discovered that, at the end of the day, all people really want to know is how to feel good.
Within these pages, Dr. Pert shares the answers she’s found, both in the biomedical laboratory of mainstream science and in the laboratory of her own evolving life. Her amazing journey documents how mind, body, and spirit cannot be separated; and that we’re hard-wired for bliss, which is both physical and divine. Feeling good and feeling God, she believes, are one and the same.

Consciousness, mind, emotions, and God are all factored into the mix, resulting in a lot of beneficial advice and self-development insights that will empower us toward health, well-being, and feeling . . . Go(o)d.

Autoimmune Diseases and Their Environmental Triggers

Author: Elaine A Moor

Autoimmune Disease (AD) refers to any of a number of disorders caused by an immune system defect that allows the body to attack its own tissues. Some say 20 percent of the population is susceptible to Autoimmune Disease. According to current theory, individuals who develop AD do so because they are exposed to certain environmental triggers.

This work is a comprehensive resource for patients with autoimmune disease. The primary focus is on the specific environmental factors, including heavy metals, hormones, organic solvents, medications, and infectious agents, that lead to autoimmune disease and that make the symptoms worse in genetically susceptible individuals.

Sections of this work describe the immune system, the natural courses of disease for the various system-wide and organ-specific autoimmune disorders, and genetic factors and lifestyle influences associated with AD. Diagnostic concerns, conventional and alternative treatment options for AD, current research paths, and laboratory tests are also covered.

A Complete Guide to Obesity Surgery: Everything You Need to Know about Weight Loss Surgery and how to Succeed

Author: Bryan G Woodward

Currently, over fifteen million Americans are struggling, day-by-day, hoping for a healthier life and a means to shed massive amounts of weight. Morbid obesity is a deadly epidemic causing over 300,000 deaths annually and is second only to cigarette smoking as the leading cause of preventable death in the United States. Sufferers of morbid obesity "are sick and tired" of being "sick and tired". Feelings of desperation often lead them to attempt anything to lose 100 pounds plus of extra weight they carry, which makes them easy prey to fraudulent diet scams and untruthful advertising practices. For those who suffer with the disease of morbid obesity and have been unsuccessful at their diet attempts -- there is another answer. In this book, the answer to a better and longer life is not a quick-fix diet nor a cosmetic procedure, but a medically accepted and the only proven method of weight loss for the devastating disease of morbid obesity. The method is properly known as bariatric surgery. Throughout the pages of A Complete Guide to Obesity Surgery, readers will be informed of the many advances that have been made in bariatric surgery over the past forty-plus years, in a language they can understand. A Complete Guide to Obesity Surgery also provides a truthful representation of bariatric surgery, including the potentially dangerous risks and the many benefits from a successful surgery. In addition, the many myths regarding the causes of obesity and the surgical treatment of the disease are explained in detail.

One of the goals of this book will be to provide potential surgery candidates and their family members, the tools needed to properly weigh the risk of remaining morbidly obese versus the possible surgical complications. Readers will be informed of the surgical procedures available, how they promote weight loss, along with the advantages and disadvantages of each procedure. A Complete Guide to Obesity Surgery allows patients to gain valuable insight into surgery. This book provides readers with a step-by-step guide to researching a surgeon to postoperative care and includes postoperative diet instructions and the development of a personalized exercise prescription. The knowledge gained by reading this book will allow potential surgery candidates and their family members to form educated opinions. This ensures that each person will become prepared for the changes that will be necessary to reduce side effects and improve outcomes. Patient testimonials and pictures will provide amazing insight of the ups and downs through their surgical experience and their new lives.

Readers will find this book to be an informative, practical self-help guide to postoperative exercise and nutrition programs. A Complete Guide to Obesity Surgery is a well-organized comprehensive toolkit addressing the many issues that surround the surgical treatment of obesity.

Please Don't Eat the Animals: All the Reasons You Need to Be a Vegetarian

Author: Jennifer Horsman

Please Don't Eat the Animals: All the Reasons You Need to Be a Vegetarian is an exciting and provocative new book on the universal benefits of being a vegetarian.

Authors Horsman and Flowers detail the many reasons for the burgeoning movement toward a plant-based diet in four short, interesting, easy-to-digest sections:

Health

Nowhere is the appeal of vegetarianism reflected more than in health issues. Scientists and doctors have begun drawing the connection between heavily meat-laden diets and the most serious health problems.

Environment

Livestock farming accounts for over half of both fresh water and ocean pollution. It significantly effects air pollution, deforestation especially of rain forests and the decimation of wildlife populations.

Animal Welfare

Animal welfare issues have gained prominence in recent years. Animal rights/ethics courses have emerged on university campuses, even in law schools. Please Don't Eat The Animals reveals the plight of animals on factory farms, a sad and troubling picture indeed.

Religious and Spiritual

Fresh and original, this section points to the fact that Christianity, Judaism, and Islam have strong injunctions against cruelty to animals. All Hindus are vegetarians. Mohammed said, "Whoever is kind to the creatures of God is kind to himself." And, according to the Buddha, "The eating of meat extinguishes the great seed of compassion."

The Cheater's Diet: The Medically Proven Way to Supercharge Your Weight Loss, Break through Diet Ruts and Stay Thin for Good

Author: Paul Rivas

Finally, an enjoyable eating program for life that proves cheater's always win and winners always cheat!

While helping 15,000 people lose weight, internist and bariatrician Dr. Paul Rivas discovered a secret: The people who cheated on their diets lost weight the fastest and kept it off the longest. This engaging book explains Rivas's scientifically validated secret: It's not whether you cheat on your diet (because you will!), but how and when you do it.

Regular weekend cheating sets up a chain of events that tricks your body into permanent weight loss because your metabolism doesn't get used to a certain low-calorie set point. Increasing your caloric intake over the weekend revs your metabolism so that when you go back to your regular weekday eating program, you're burning optimal calories.

So go ahead and:

Eat chocolate . . . but make it Dove bars (dark chocolate is healthy, milk chocolate is not)
Eat sweets . . . but make it cinnamon buns (cinnamon improves blood sugar metabolism)
Drink wine . . . but only cabernet and pinot noir (the resevertol in these grapes is an anti-oxidant and anti-inflamatory).

Forget the guilt! It's a program, it's scientific and it works.

Runaway Eating: The 8-Point Plan to Conquer Adult Food and Weight Obsessions

Author: Cynthia M Bulik

The first book to address a disturbing new trend: dangerous eating patterns in midlife women that can have serious health consequences.

Struggling to cope with the stress of menopause, empty nest syndrome, caring for ailing parents, work overload, and the cultural emphasis on youth and beauty, more and more women find themselves eating compulsively to ease tension, manage anxiety, quell depression, and distract themselves from what's really eating them. Others obsessively follow strict diets or exercise excessively.

In this groundbreaking book, clinical psychologist Cynthia M. Bulik, Ph.D., and dietitian Nadine Taylor team up to present a patient-tested 8-step program to help women regain a healthy relationship with food. Readers also will find:
o A thorough explanation of the full spectrum of
Runaway Eating behaviors, from occasional lapses
into binge eating to restrictive dieting to compulsive exercising o Alternative ways to alleviate anxiety and defuse
depression o Practical strategies for managing the menopausal symptoms that often lead to disordered eating

Library Journal

There is no question that food misuse in this country constitutes an epidemic. Approximately 64.5 million American women are overweight, and more than half of them are classifiably obese. Clinical psychologist Bulik (Univ. of North Carolina, Chapel Hill) and dietician Taylor (Natural Menopause Remedies) are concerned with a group of problem eaters that has been steadily growing in the last five years: women in midlife and beyond. In Part 1, the authors define "runaway eating" as the "consistent use of food or food-related behavior to deal with unpleasant feelings." They discuss the causes, the risk factors, and, perhaps most interesting, why such problems arise in midlife. Part 2 provides an "8-Point Plan To Conquer Runaway Eating"-e.g., "eat on time and in time," "identify your triggers," "manage menopausal symptoms," and "pare down perfectionism." This very readable book, which is dotted with anecdotal experiences, is particularly noteworthy because it emphasizes eating problems in middle-aged and older women.

Men's Health TNT Diet: The Explosive New Plan to Blast Fat, Build Muscle, and Get Healthy in 12 Weeks

Author: Jeff Volek

The Men’s Health TNT Diet is a revolutionary program for burning fat and building muscle. Utilizing Targeted Nutrition Tactics (TNT), the authors move beyond “good carbs” and “bad carbs” to focus instead on “well-timed carbs” that will allow readers to eat the foods they want as long as they are eating them at the right time. By controlling the levels of glycogen (carbs stored in our muscles) through this unique diet, and learning to exercise in the carb-burning zone (the secret to making workouts shorter and more effective) anyone can shed fat and build muscle—and it takes only 90 minutes of exercise a week.

Indispensable Guide to Classic Men's Clothing

Author: Josh Karlen

In their book, The Indispensable Guide to Classic Men's Clothing, journalists Josh Karlen and Christopher Sulavik, describe classic styles of men's clothing which have endured fashion cycles and are now as popular as ever. They interviewed dozens of the leading experts on men's clothing from American clothiers-such as Brooks Brothers and Paul Stuart, to Britain's famed Turnbull & Asser and France's shoemaker J.M. Weston. The result is an exhaustive, yet concise volume which offers these experts' advice on how to put together a wardrobe of timeless, impeccable style and tips on how to recognize quality clothing. Plus, the finest custom shoemakers, suitmakers and shirtmakers and others describe the fine points of their craft.

About the Authors:

Mr. Karlen, an lawyer, is a legal and financial journalist. He was a correspondent in the Baltics for United Press International, Radio Free Europe and other foreign news organizations. He lives in New York.

Mr. Sulavik has spent most of his career as a journalist, including four years with Reuters. He has contributed articles to Newsweek, The International Herald Tribune, The European and The Christian Science Monitor. Most recently, he wrote NYC For Free. He owns Tatra Press and lives in Brooklyn, NY.

GQ Magazine

According to The Indispensable Guide to Classic Men's Clothing, the two techniques [tying your shoelaces and tying a bow tie] are similar.

Library Journal

Few "indispensable" guides are ever just that, but this title comes close to hitting the mark, even though much of the information provided can be found in similar guides, such as Paul Keers's A Gentleman's Wardrobe (1988). Karlen, an attorney and editor, and Sulavik, a journalist, use a question-and-answer format (e.g., "Should a dress shirt have a pocket?") that works well, and the candid remarks provided by dozens of clothing experts are an interesting feature. Helpful line drawings are interspersed throughout the text, although photographs might have provided clearer illustrations in some instances. While this is not quite an indispensable purchase, most public and academic libraries should have at least a few good men's grooming guides like this one on their shelves.--P.

Kundalini or Perfect Weight

Kundalini: The Evolutionary Energy in Man

Author: Gopi Krishna

Coiled like a snake at the base of the spine, kundalini is the spiritual force that lies dormant in every human being. Once awakened, often through meditation and yoga practices, it rises up the spine and finds expression in the form of spiritual knowledge, mystical vision, psychic powers, and ultimately, enlightenment. This is the classic first-person account of Gopi Krishna, an ordinary Indian householder who, at the age of thirty-four, after years of unsupervised meditation, suddenly experienced the awakening of kundalini during his morning practice. The story of this transformative experience, and the author's struggle to find balance amid a variety of powerful physiological and psychic side effects, forms the core of the book. His detailed descriptions of his dramatic inner experiences and symptoms such as mood swings, eating disorders, and agonizing sensations of heat—and of how, with the help of his wife, he finally stabilized at a higher level of consciousness—make this one of the most valuable classics of spiritual awakening available.

Reverse Diet: Lose 20, 50, 100 Pounds or More by Eating Dinner for Breakfast and Breakfast for Dinner

Author: Heidi Skolnik MS CDN

Here is the breakthrough diet plan that has people all across North America eating better, losing weight, and getting healthier. Now you can stop counting calories, avoiding carbs, and feeling deprived. Eat dinner for breakfast and shed pounds! If you’ve been a yo-yo dieter and nothing seems to work, this terrific new diet plan allows you to lose 20, 50, 100 pounds or even more for good, simply by reversing your meals. Dozens of tasty, easy recipes are included.

Publishers Weekly

The adage "breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince, dinner like a pauper" inspired this book, for Cunningham, a motivational speaker who lost 172 pounds in nine months with that approach. She and coauthor Skolnik, a nutritionist, met while filming a food-centric segment for Good Morning America, and have paired up to recommend a lifestyle change that emphasizes fueling up with a larger meal early in the day and, in the later hours, replenishing as needed via snacks and smaller meals. While much of the duo's advice is not new (whole foods are preferable to processed ones, eat more vegetables, avoid sugary sodas), it is intriguing. Food lists, portion information and recipes help with planning ahead-preparing meals ahead of time is also key, the authors say. A section on setting realistic goals aims to help readers manage their expectations, and recommendations for using a "hunger scale" encourage mindfulness. (Jan.)

The Journey toward Complete Recovery: Reclaiming Your Emotional, Spiritual and Sexual Wholeness

Author: Michael Picucci

Written with warmth, honesty, and compassion, this handbook charts a new path toward spiritual growth and renewal. Picking up where the Alcoholics Anonymous Big Book left off, Picucci addresses the personal struggle recovering people so often express. This book is not solely for addicts, ex-addicts, or those who identify themselves as survivors of childhood trauma. It demonstrates a significant healing approach for every person seeking a richer life.

Jacquelyn Small

"Michael's book is an important statement concerning the evolution of addiction recover, which is the process of self-discovery that underpins all healing approaches. We are moving beyond pathologizing' ourselves which keeps us stuck in the past, and learning to view our symptoms as those of 'birthing a new consciousness.' Michael Picucci's book addresses this shift in perspective that can make us whole." -(Author of Transformers; Awakening in Time; and Becoming a Practical Mystic)

Carolyn Craft

"Recovery takes on new meaning in Dr. Michael Picucci's The Journey Toward Complete Recovery. He expands our hearts and opens our minds to the wonders, the growth and the tremendous rewards of a holistic, ongoing approach in recovering the lost parts of our Self. Anyone touched by the dis-ease of addictions or 'blocked energy,' will be awakened and transformed by this work, as I have. He gives both promise and hope." (Director and Host, Wisdom Channel Radio and Television Network)

Publishers Weekly

Founder of the Institute for Staged Recovery in New York City and creator of "Authentic Process Therapy," Picucci is an addictions counselor who bases his methods primarily on personal experience. In this updated edition of his self-published Complete Recovery, Picucci describes a "Stage Two" recovery program for evolving beyond freedom from addictions to "holism," which encompasses "joy, bliss, love, empowerment, creativity, respect for all life, and peace." Picucci makes an interesting distinction between "`recovery from' addictions and childhood traumas" and "recovery of fulfillment, wisdom, serenity, and emotional, spiritual and sexual wholeness." Using a structure of 12 "stations," which can be visited and revisited in any order as often as needed, he guides readers through six "fundamental" and six "emergent" modules of this process for healing the "spiritual-sexual split" and the "cultural pain... of oppressed minorities," and ultimately achieving the "shame-free presentation of self." Picucci says he offers "nothing less than a re-birthing process" through a combination of one-on-one psychotherapy, support groups and spirituality. His own life experiences--as a gay man, once married, now HIV positive, surviving AIDS, cancer, a heart attack, triple-bypass surgery and drug and alcohol addictions--give him a uniquely credible perspective on healing and wholeness. In his cogent, well-organized handbook, Picucci functions a bit like the gay shamans who had a special place in North American Indian tribes. His compassionate acceptance of diversity will inspire many readers to care to take the next step and seek the help they need. (Nov.)

Loving Him without Losing You: How to Stop Disappearing and Start Being Yourself

Author: Beverly Engel

A powerful and inspiring guide to overcoming a syndrome that affects the lives of tens of millions of women

When it appeared more than a decade ago, the bestselling Women Who Love Too Much gave a voice to millions of women who sacrificed themselves to relationships with emotionally distant men. Now, in a groundbreaking book that will resonate with tens of millions of women of all ages, psychotherapist Beverly Engel exposes a much more pervasive and personally troublesome problem affecting an estimated seventy-five percent of women to some degree—the Disappearing Woman Syndrome.

Loving Him Without Losing You explores the lives of women who sacrifice their own identities and self-esteem to their relationships with men, along with their chances for personal and professional growth. Drawing on her twenty-five years of experience counseling women and families, Engel discusses the psychological, sociological, and biological roots of the problem. She provides quizzes women can take to determine if and to what degree they suffer from Disappearing Woman Syndrome. And she outlines a complete program featuring dozens of empowering exercises and action steps women can use to free themselves from the grip of this all-too-common disorder and transform themselves into women of substance. This book has the power to change millions of women's lives for the better for years to come.

Features the dramatic and inspiring case stories of women of all ages and walks of life who have struggled with Disappearing Woman Syndrome and won

Beverly Engel (San Luis Obispo, CA) is an internationally respected therapist specializing in women's issues, relationships, and sexuality. She has been a featured guest on many national television shows, including Oprah, Ricki Lake, and Sally Jessy Raphael. She is also the author of several successful self-improvement books, including The Emotionally Abused Woman, The Right to Innocence, and Raising Your Sexual Self-Esteem.

What People Are Saying

Lucia Capacchione
Lucia Capacchione, Ph.D., author of Visioning: Ten Steps to Designing the Life of Your Dreams and The Creative Journal

Loving Him Without Losing You is a wonderful resource and guide to finding oneself and tapping into creativity as a part of one's foundation for a life well lived. I recommend it highly.

Patti McDermott
Patti McDermott, author of How to Talk to Your Husband; How to Talk to Your Wife

In Loving Him Without Losing You Beverly Engel offers powerful wisdom and insight concerning the age-old problem of women losing themselves in their relationships with men. Unlike so many others, Beverly doesn't take the easy way out by blaming men but instead explores the phenomenon from a biological, cultural, and psychological perspective and offers women empowering suggestions about how to take responsibility for changing their situations.

Michael Gurian
Michael Gurian, author of The Good Son and A Fine Young Man
This is a book of depth and power. I highly recommend it not only to women who lose themselves in their relationships with men but to the parents of adolescent girls who need to be taught how to view themselves as valuable beings separate from their relationships with men and boys.

Maxine Schnall
Maxine Schnall, founder and executive director of Wives' Self Help, the first marital hotline in America, and author of Limits and Every Woman Can Be Adored

This remarkably helpful book offers new insights into why so many women surrender their individuality in relationships. Its strategies for relating fulfillingly can rescue even the most vulnerable woman from sacrificing herself on the altar of love. Don't wait until your hair is on fire to read it.

Those in the Mediterranean countries, however, are well known for being some of the healthiest people in the world. The Mediterranean lifestyle has been proven by scientific research to have health benefits, and now it can be followed easily with this guide that includes tips and recipes.

Best Life Diet or Weight Loss Basics

2009-01-03T03:12:00.000-08:00

Best Life Diet

Author: Bob Green

From the bestselling author of Get With the Program! and Bob Greene's Total Body Makeover comes The Best Life Diet, a lifetime plan for losing weight and keeping it off. Bob Greene helped Oprah achieve her dramatic weight loss, and he can help you too. You'll eat the same delicious food that Oprah enjoys, and, just like Oprah, you'll have Bob to encourage you at every step. Unlike a celebrity, however, you don't need to hire a staff of experts to aid and advise you, because Bob's plan, easily tailored to an array of tastes, lifestyles, and activity levels, acts as your personal trainer and private nutritionist. Just open the book and let Bob help you get started down the path toward your best possible life.

What sets Bob apart from all the other experts who claim to have plans that work is that he admits that weight loss is difficult: seventeen years of watching people struggle to lose weight on a seemingly endless string of trendy crash diets, only to backslide and regain the pounds they've shed, have taught him that dropping pounds is not simply a numbers game. By acknowledging that it is not simple laziness but a complicated web of social rituals, cultural expectations, and habits that drives people to gain weight, Greene is able to attack the problem of weight loss realistically and offer not a short-lived, quick-fix formula, but a long-term program that accounts for the challenges and constraints of the real world.

Divided into three phases, The Best Life Diet gives you the tools you need to change your life. In each phase, you'll be asked to reexamine the decisions you make on a daily basis and gradually alter your habits to achieve lastingresults. The book also includes easy-to-follow meal plans that make it simple to meet your daily energy and nutrient requirements, whether you are on the run and breakfast means a quick smoothie or you have time to shop for fresh produce and make something special.

You'll watch the weight disappear as you learn to prepare festive and flavorful dishes like Fire-Roasted Tomato-Shrimp Veracruz, Chicken Sausage Jambalaya, or Flank Steak with Chimichurri Topping and indulge in desserts like Roasted Peaches with Ricotta and Almonds or Apple Rhubarb Walnut Crisp. And for each delicious recipe, there is a detailed nutritional analysis, so you know exactly what you are eating and how it fits into your personal eating plan.

Most important, Bob's plan doesn't end once you've lost the weight. Instead, it gives you the tools you need to make living your best life second nature, because for Greene, a diet is not something you go "on" or "off" but a set of guidelines that will help you claim the life you deserve.

Making a Killing: The Deadly Implications of the Counterfeit Drug Trade

Author: Roger Bat

Counterfeit pharmaceuticals kill hundreds of thousands of people every year. Although most pervasive in poor countries, counterfeit drug trafficking is a worrying new phenomenon in the developed world. Payoffs for counterfeiters are high-the global market amounts to billions of dollars per year-and potential punishment is slight compared to the strict penalties facing narcotics dealers. From Internet pharmacies frequented by American consumers to the back streets of New Delhi, counterfeit drug trafficking is a complex, deadly, and increasingly lucrative industry that is becoming an attractive arena for organized crime.

In this groundbreaking study, Roger Bate traces pharmaceutical counterfeiting around the world, from developed nations, where counterfeiters often target "lifestyle" drugs such as Viagra, to developing countries, where counterfeiters favor therapeutic medicines such as antimalarials and antibiotics. Enforcement in developing nations is hampered by inadequate education, feeble regulation, and sluggish policing of existing laws. The United States is struggling to thwart an insidious Internet market.

Making a Killing: The Deadly Implications of the Counterfeit Drug Trade champions greater cooperation between wealthy and poor nations to quash the trade in counterfeit pharmaceuticals. Bate calls for fortified policing resources, harsher penalties for counterfeiters, widespread public education, and commonsense consumer vigilance against this danger. Western policymakers must act immediately to quell the deadly counterfeit market in developing countries-and to ensure the integrity of their products at home.

About the Author:
Roger Bate is a residentfellow at the American Enterprise Institute. He writes extensively on topics such as endemic diseases in developing countries (malaria, HIV/AIDS); access and innovation in pharmaceuticals; taxes and tariffs; water policy; and international health agreements

Coping with Erectile Dysfunction

Author: Michael E Metz

There seem to be no end to the "authoritative" explanations and "guaranteed" easy treatments for erectile dysfunction (ED). Since the so-called Viagra revolution, conventional wisdom holds that the problem can be fixed simply by taking a pill. The truth of the matter is, though, that ED is often a complex condition affected by physical, psychological, relationship issues-and it's a problem shared by both a man and his partner. This book is the first ever to address this common problem using a comprehensive biological, psychological, and social approach. It offers a proven-effective program for regaining erectile function, building strong and intimate relationships, and having great sex.

Talking to Depression: Simple Ways to Connect When Someone in Your Life is Depressed

Author: Claudia J Strauss

When someone suffers from depression, friends and family members naturally want to help-but too often their good intentions come out all wrong. This practical, compassionate guide helps readers understand exactly what their loved one is going through, and why certain approaches help and others have the potential to do damage. Talking to Depression offers specific advice on what to do and what not to do-and what to say and what not to say-to avoid frustration and give the kind of caring, effective support that will make a difference.

Publishers Weekly

The author of Talking to Alzheimer's shares a simple, direct and effective approach for family and friends of those living and dealing with clinical depression. Strauss delves into specific scenarios with depressed loved ones, clearly explaining why certain responses and phrasing of comments are helpful while others are ineffective or seem like mere "stock phrases" to the person who is depressed. Strauss also explains that simply being there for the depressed person helps more than giving specific advice. "It isn't her job to listen to you; it's your job to listen to her. That's the best way to help her." Clinical psychologist Martha Manning, whose book Undercurrents offered a personal dimension to the illness, hits the exact note when she writes in the foreword that "dealing with depression is a collaboration." Strauss uses this approach throughout the book, explaining the unique ways in which the depressed mind works and, consequently, how others can better connect with that way of thinking through appropriate conversation, body language and practical support. When viewed individually, these suggestions may seem like ways to tiptoe around the depressed person, but altogether they are considerate and sensitive methods of communicating in any type of relationship. Strauss's insight applies to the day-to-day battles alongside the depression sufferer, but she also stresses how much can be learned from these strong individuals: "In physical battles, we celebrate the bravery of the soldier who falls. The bravery of the psychological warrior is no less." (Jan. 6) Copyright 2003 Reed Business Information.

Library Journal

Given that ten percent of adults suffer from mood disorders each year, the plethora of literature available on depression is not surprising. While there are ample resources for those who are depressed, books devoted to their loved ones are less abundant. Strauss (English, Albright Coll.; Talkisng to Alzheimer's) attempts to fill this gap with a book aimed at "the rest of us," listing useful resources, reminding caregivers to maintain their own well-being, and suggesting conversations and activities to engage depressed individuals. Unfortunately, these one-liners aren't enough; the book would have benefited from real-life examples of exchanges with depressed persons. In addition, important issues are not discussed (e.g., evidence that depression increases the risk of heart disease), and a bibliography of sources consulted in the depression overview is notably absent. "Tips for Kids" reads like an afterthought, since so few pages are dedicated to this special group. Those interested in helping a depressed loved one should see Laura Epstein Rosen's When Someone You Love Is Depressed or William R. Beardslee's Out of a Darkened Room. An optional purchase for large public collections.-Heather O'Brien, Acadia Univ., Wolfville, N.S. Copyright 2003 Reed Business Information.

Comfortably Numb: How Psychiatry Is Medicating a Nation

Author: Charles Barber

Public perceptions of mental health issues have changed dramatically over the last fifteen years, and nowhere is this more apparent than in the rampant overmedication of ordinary Americans. In 2006, 227 million antidepressant prescriptions were dispensed in the United States, more than any other class of medication; in that same year, the United States accounted for 66 percent of the global antidepressant market. In Comfortably Numb, Charles Barber provides a much-needed context for this disturbing phenomenon.

Barber explores the ways in which pharmaceutical companies first create the need for a drug and then rush to fill it, and he reveals that the increasing pressure Americans are under to medicate themselves (direct-to-consumer advertising, fewer nondrug therapeutic options, the promise of the quick fix, the blurring of distinction between mental illness and everyday problems). Most importantly, he convincingly argues that without an industry to promote them, non-pharmaceutical approaches that could have the potential to help millions are tragically overlooked by a nation that sees drugs as an instant cure for all emotional difficulties.

Here is an unprecedented account of the impact of psychiatric medications on American culture and on Americans themselves.

Kirkus Reviews

A sharply critical look at the way antidepressants are marketed and prescribed in the United States. While the mentally ill aren't receiving the treatment they need, Americans with ordinary life problems are being overmedicated, writes Barber (Psychiatry/Yale School of Medicine; Songs from the Black Chair: A Memoir of Mental Interiors, 2005). Though not a psychiatrist, he has a decade of professional experience working with mentally ill homeless people. He severely criticizes the pharmaceutical industry but places much of the blame on the medical profession, charging that at a time when the understanding of psychiatric drugs remains crude, doctors are too willing to prescribe the pills that patients request after seeing them advertised on television. The author divides the book into two parts. The first provides a capsule history of psychiatry in the United States and examines the shortcomings of the currently ascendant biological, or neuropsychiatric, approach. Barber attacks with shocking statistics (in 2006, 227 million antidepressant prescriptions were dispensed to Americans, up by 30 million from the 2002 levels) and punchy prose: "Psychiatry [is] jettisoning the impoverished mentally ill for the cash-carrying worried well." He reserves particular mockery for the American Psychiatric Association's diagnostic manual, citing its recent introduction of Motivational Deficiency Disorder as a nonsensical medicalization of laziness. Part Two advocates the use of an alternative, cognitive-behavioral therapy. The author spells out details of two related treatment approaches: the Stages of Change model, which recognizes that change is a dynamic process in which relapse is a realistic part of acontinuum; and Motivational Interviewing, in which the therapist uses a technique of empathetic listening that centers on the client's ambivalence about change. Barber articulately and persuasively counsels that it's time to abandon the quick-fix, pop-a-pill approach.

Incorporating Social Goals in the Classroom: A Guide for Teachers and Parents of Children with High-Functioning Autism and Asperger Syndrome

Author: Rebecca A Moyes

This book provides practical, hands-on strategies to teach social skills to children with high-functioning autism and Asperger Syndrome. It includes a detailed description of the social deficits of these children as they appear in the classroom -- difficulties with such things as understanding idioms, taking turns in conversation, understanding and using tone of voice and body language -- and ways to address them. Instruction is included in the book to enhance the development of appropriate, measurable, and meaningful individualized education plans (IEPs) to incorporate social goals. Lesson plans are included to facilitate the ability to 'teach' these social goals. Parents will find this text an excellent training tool to help develop social education curricula for their children, and teachers will find it particularly helpful as an easy-to-read manual containing many 'nuts and bolts' strategies to utilize in the classroom.

True Power of Water: Healing and Discovering Ourselves

Author: Masaru Emoto

Dear Reader,

I am honored that you have picked up The True Power of Water. In a world of no mistakes, it is not by coincidence that you and I are embarking on this journey. The words and pictures you are about to see will open a new world of possibilities for you -- just as my research has done for me.

In this book you will learn of the unique properties of water and its ability to improve your health and your life. You will see the effect each of us has on water -- not only the water we drink but also the water that makes up 70 percent of the human body and, most importantly, what happens to that water as we interact with each other.

2005 marks the beginning of the United Nations Decade of Water. It is our individual responsibility to learn all we can about water, the most precious resource on our planet, and to help shift the consciousness through our thoughts, through our words and prayers, and through our commitment to respect each other with love and gratitude. May our understanding of water help bring peace to all humankind.

Bipolar Disorder or Art of Aging

Bipolar Disorder: A Guide for Patients and Families

Author: Francis Mark Mondimor

"Bipolar disorder is a mood disorder that affects about two percent of the population. Such famous politicians, writers, artists, and musicians as Winston Churchill, George Frederick Handel, Lord Byron, Virginia Woolf, Edgar Allan Poe, Napoleon Bonaparte, and Vincent van Gogh had bipolar disorder, but most persons affected by bipolar disorder are just ordinary people who want nothing more than to get back to their everyday lives after they or their family members have been diagnosed with the illness. This book is written for them." -- from the Preface

In this book for persons with bipolar disorder and their families, Dr. Frank Mondimore offers a comprehensive, practical, compassionate guide to the symptoms, diagnosis, treatment and causes of this potentially devastating psychiatric illness, formerly known as "manic-depression." He offers practical advice for getting the most out of the various treatments that are now available -- from medication, psychotherapy, and electroconvulsive treatment to new approaches such as St. John's wort and transcranial magnetic stimulation. For each, he discusses advantages, disadvantages, side effects, and other information to help patients make informed decisions about treatment options. He also describes what it is like to live with bipolar disorder and discusses how lifestyle changes can improve quality of life. Throughout, he focuses on the importance of building a support system, of planning for emergencies, and of giving one's self permission to seek help.

Bipolar disorder is a particularly difficult illness to diagnose and treat, Dr. Mondimore acknowledges, and it can be incredibly destructive to relationships and careers, canwreak havoc on family life and, when not properly treated, is a potentially fatal disease. In his wide-ranging discussion of this unpredictable disorder, Dr. Mondimore describes problems that are unique to women, whose disease may be affected by the menstrual cycle, pregnancy, and childbirth,. He includes new information on the forms the illness takes in children and adolescents, in whom it can sometimes be mistaken for more common problems such as "hyperactivity" or Attention Deficit Disorder. He explains what we know about the genetics of the disease, how symptoms fluctuate with the seasons in seasonal affective disorder, and how illness can be made more difficult to treat because of alcoholism or drug abuse. He discusses coping with the stigmatization of psychiatric diagnosis, gives advice on picking a psychiatrist and on dealing with medical insurance issues, and even explores the fascinating relationship between bipolar disorder and artistic creativity. Finally, Dr. Mondimore tells family members what they can do to help the person with bipolar disorder -- and themselves -- and he offers hope for the future as researchers learn more about the disease and how to control it.

Kirkus Reviews

An exhaustive, scientific, yet compassionate assist for sufferers of "the chameleon of psychiatric disorders" and their families. Psychiatrist Mondimore (Univ. of North Carolina, Chapel Hill) looks first at the symptoms and diagnosis of bipolar disorder, or manic-depression: the disease wears many masks that can make diagnosis difficult. Mondimore concedes that at present psychiatrists are generally working with the same diagnostic tools that were used in the 19th century: their eyes and ears. He goes on to discuss treatment. Medications are first and foremost—primarily mood stabilizers, antidepressants, and antipsychotics. He follows with a thoughtful considerations of electroconvulsive therapy, counseling, and psychotherapy. Mondimore is especially clear on medication side effects (and how to avoid them), how various treatments have been used and misused, and what a reasonable standard should be. In part three, Mondimore considers how bipolar disorder affects children, adolescents, and women; and how it is affected by alcoholism and drug abuse, seasonal affective disorder and chronobiology, genetics, and other medical conditions such as stroke and hormonal problems. In part four, Mondimore offers real, detailed help for living with the disease. The key is to recognize that bipolar disease is relentless and that the way to keep it at bay is for the patient to be relentless, too—"about getting needed treatment and sticking to it". Illustrative case studies here make it clear this can be done, but it isn't easy. An absolute gold mine, then, for those with the disorder and their families: thorough, candid, and up-to-date advice, full of new possibilities for help.

Art of Aging: A Doctor's Prescription for Well-Being

Author: Sherwin B Nuland

In his landmark book How We Die, Sherwin B. Nuland profoundly altered our perception of the end of life. Now in The Art of Aging, Dr. Nuland steps back to explore the impact of aging on our minds and bodies, strivings and relationships. Melding a scientist’s passion for truth with a humanist’s understanding of the heart and soul, Nuland has created a wise, frank, and inspiring book about the ultimate stage of life’s journey.

The onset of aging can be so gradual that we are often surprised to find that one day it is fully upon us. The changes to the senses, appearance, reflexes, physical endurance, and sexual appetites are undeniable–and rarely welcome–and yet, as Nuland shows, getting older has its surprising blessings. Age concentrates not only the mind, but the body’s energies, leading many to new sources of creativity, perception, and spiritual intensity. Growing old, Nuland teaches us, is not a disease but an art–and for those who practice it well, it can bring extraordinary rewards.

“I’m taking the journey even while I describe it,” writes Nuland, now in his mid-seventies and a veteran of nearly four decades of medical practice. Drawing on his own life and work, as well as the lives of friends both famous and not, Nuland portrays the astonishing variability of the aging experience. Faith and inner strength, the deepening of personal relationships, the realization that career does not define identity, the acceptance that some goals will remain unaccomplished–these are among the secrets of those who age well.

Will scientists one day fulfill the dream of eternal youth? Nuland examinesthe latest research into extending life and the scientists who are pursuing it. But ultimately, what compels him most is what happens to the mind and spirit as life reaches its culminating decades. Reflecting the wisdom of a long lifetime, The Art of Aging is a work of luminous insight, unflinching candor, and profound compassion.

Publishers Weekly

The septuagenarian surgeon whose brutally honest demythologization of death in How We Die garnered a National Book Award offers a mushier, platitude-filled treatise on aging, calling it a "gift" that establishes boundaries in our lives, making everything within those boundaries all the more precious. Brief, frank descriptions of droopy penises, declining hormone levels and loss of hearing and bone density are accompanied by reminders that stroke is not a normal consequence of aging and that our bodies are like cars and taking good care of parts extends their usefulness. A gushing tribute to pioneering cardiac surgeon Michael DeBakey, now aged 98, teaches the importance of knowing one's limitations and learning to function within them, while now-80-year-old actress Patricia Neal recalls how sheer stubbornness and a browbeating husband enabled her recovery from a debilitating stroke at 39. Nuland learned life lessons from two fans, a cancer survivor who understands that it's her response to adversity, and not the adversity itself, that shapes her future, and a formerly depressed octogenarian who now doesn't allow herself the "luxury" of despair. Although some of Nuland's devotees will be comforted by his hopeful if familiar advice, others seeking more of the bracing, defiant insights that made him famous will be disappointed. (Mar. 6)

Karen McNally Bensing - Library Journal

Americans are living longer but not necessarily better lives. Late life is often filled with pain as well as physical and mental disability, much of which, argues National Book Award winner Nuland (surgery, Yale Univ.; How We Die), is a result of the "current biomedical campaign against the natural process of aging." Aging itself is not a disease but an important risk factor for many debilitating disorders of old age, he asserts. In an informal study of older adults, the author, now 77, observed individuals (himself included) who live active, fulfilling lives often despite serious health challenges or extreme age. He identifies three key practices for a rewarding late life (which he applies to his own life): developing satisfying personal relationships, maintaining physical abilities, and being creative. The book also casts a critical eye on life-extension research, suggesting that work on preserving physical and mental function as long as possible is far more valuable. "We must study how to be old," Nuland writes. This literate, thoughtful book—an excellent "textbook" for successful aging—is highly recommended. [See Prepub Alert, LJ10/15/06.]

Hardness Factor: How to Achieve Your Best Health and Sexual Fitness at Any Age

Author: Steven Lamm

Hard is good, harder is better -- for your health, your libido, your life. Such is the provocative premise behind Dr. Steven Lamm's The Hardness Factor, a groundbreaking book that will change the way men live and love. The Hardness Factor measures male health through the quality of an erection -- perhaps the greatest male motivator for better living (more so than fear of cancer, heart attack, or stroke). The Hardness Factor asks, Can men be hard and in shape for sex their entire lives? The answer is, absolutely. Here for the first time are scientific, evidence-based regimens -- emphasizing nutrition, supplements, and exercise -- to increase erectile quality. By following the programs in The Hardness Factor, you will

improve overall health;
produce stronger, harder, and longer-lasting erections;
increase strength, fitness, flexibility, and vitality;
restore self-confidence; and
achieve maximum sexual gratification with your partner.

A renowned New York clinician, bestselling author, and a favorite expert on the television show The View, Dr. Lamm offers straight talk for men of all ages in "The Four-Day Insurance Policy," which can provide a quick fix for that upcoming Saturday night (or any other dating emergency), and the more detailed "Six-Week Hardness Factor Program," which will improve a man's sex drive, stamina, hardness, and, most of all, health. This comprehensive guide also includes numerous recipes created by acclaimed chef Waldy Malouf, aimed at promoting nutritional health and jump-starting the libido.

After following The Hardness Factor, you will not onlyachieve optimal health and sexual fitness but also understand why the penis is the best barometer of a man's health.

Publishers Weekly

Lamm's premise is that for men, good health and a hard erection are synonymous. Hardness (or rather, lack thereof) is not just an inevitable side effect of aging, internist Lamm claims-it's the result of poor lifestyle decisions and is linked to a number of afflictions, including obesity, high cholesterol, hypertension, depression and heart disease. The author, medical correspondent for ABC's The View and an early researcher of Viagra, points out that prescription medications aren't always the answer. He outlines a six-week program that focuses on diet, exercise and supplements such as Pycnogenol/L-Arginine, a combination of antioxidant and pine-bark extract that reduces the risk of chronic diseases and results in a "rock-hard erection." Lamm peppers his straightforward text with jokes and entertaining anecdotes from patients at his New York City practice. He estimates that 20 million men aged 40 to 70 suffer from erectile dysfunction. While many never seek treatment, perhaps they will pick up this important book, which is filled with several new insights and tips for maintaining sexual and general health.

As an internationally respected teacher and lecturer on the Twelve Step method introduced by Alcoholics Anonymous, Joe McQ knows that sponsorship is a key construct for the success of the program because it involves moving a person through the Twelve Step process to recovery. In the early days of AA, sponsors would come to the alcoholics home and talk him through Steps 1 and 2, and when they were thoroughly convinced he was ready, they would start him on the program.
